The members met every Thursday in C101 to discuss plans of fundraising. Pom Pons, Santa Grams, and Homecoming spirit buttons were sold during lunch hours. Our best fundraiser was the selling ot the Homecoming buttons. lt took us only three we Left: Cheering the Falcons on to a victory against Thornwood, Tinnette Hemmons and LaTonya Scott wear their new Pep Club sweatshirts.

Pep Club did a lot more than just cheer. They had a decorated car in the Home- coming parade and sold trick or treats at Halloween. ln addi- tion everyone wore blue and gray sweatshirts at the assem- blies and games. This is the first year that we purchased sweatshirts. We usually wore tee-shirts but decided that the sweatshirts would improve our image, said Tanya Johnson. Whether it was cheering at the games or selling Santa Grams, Pep Club was into everything. 2 , .

Athletes involved in community id everyone sign the at- tendance sheet? Do we have enough ropeholders for the game Fri- day? These were common ques- tions heard at Varsity Club meetings every other Wednes- day during homeroom. With only 15 minutes to run a meeting, organization was a must. Officers Lynn George,- president, Tim Zackavec, vice president, Mike Small, secre- tary, and Amy McLaughlin, treasurer, were a big part of that organization. The Varsity Club, consisting of varsity letter winners, start- ed its year with its annual trip tothe Children's Haven in Har- vey to bring Christmas pre- sents to the underprivileged children. The children were very excited to see us and Top: Secretary Mike Small brightens the day of the children at the Chil- dren's l-laven by posing as Santa Claus.

Another activity was a vol- leyball tournament involving members of the club. The ro- peholding committee attend- ed every home basketball game to aid in crowd control, and they also ran a few con- cessions to raise money. The club was responsible for the change in certificates awarded to athletes as well as having input in many decisions involving athletics. We decid- ed to upgrade the certificates by using a glossy material in place of parchment. We felt that the athletes deserved a first class award. I didn't want to make all of the decisions by myself. I felt that the athletes should have some input, stat- ed Fton Bonfiglio, sponsor. The club ended the year with a trip to Great America and a picnic at Veteran's Park. 1 ,Ng X :ti E W ' S ggi 5 . . X :r s ' 3 ini ht- t -132. -t

Areas function smoothly with help helve those books! Splice those films! Re- turn those projectors! These were just some of the commands heard by the AV and libarary aides. The main job of the libarary aides was to straighten up the unused books the other stu- dents left on the library tables. Each Library aide shelved be- tween 75-1OO books a week on an average. l shelved 250 books the week before the se- mester ended. l was having nightmares about the Dewey Decimal System for weeks, stated Peggy Moreland, sen- 108 AV!Library ior. Being covered in paint or having marker covered hands happened if one was an AV aide and had to make a poster for a school event. ln addition to delivering and returning equipment, aides learned how to mend films. One of the hardest jobs was splicing broken films. Only one person has ever been able to splice a film right on the first try, stated Lynn Golab, a four-year veteran of AV. These two groups of aides were needed to help keep their areas running smoothly.
